Do all languages have a common ancestor?

In the vein of similarities between different languages (as we touched upon in class today), this is a very short and interesting video: do all languages have a common ancestor?

nice little clip there.
certainly languages share common roots.
who knows if it all goes back to one language.
the bible says it all goes back to god giving language to adam and languages were separated by god from the one original language at the tower of babel (which will be another great topic of discussion).
i don't know that i personally believe that.
i just found an image online that shows commonalities /shared roots among languages...posted it just now.
